IT35269: SSL SOCKET LEAK WHEN USING REST ASYNC NODES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using the RESTAsyncRequest and RESTAsyncResponse nodes in a
  message flow causes a memory leak and a potential
  java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM App Connect Enterprise V11 on Windows using a
  RESTAsyncResponse node.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows on x86-64 platform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The RESTAsyncResponse node stores a connection socket in an
  internal cache for reuse by a RESTAsyncRequest node.
  
  On the Windows platform the RestAsyncResponse node uses an
  invalid key to store a socket in the cache. The cache continues
  to grow because the sockets are never reused.  This causes  a
  memory leak, which may result in a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
  exception.
  

Problem conclusion

• The RESTAsyncResponse node now uses the correct key to store a
  connection socket in the internal cache for reuse by a
  RESTAsyncRequest node.
